-Solaris Problem #1:
-===================
-From: carson@lehman.com
-Date: Fri, 7 Feb 1997 01:05:58 -0500
-To: arnold@gnu.ai.mit.edu
-Subject: Solaris 2.5.1 x86 bug in gawk-3.0.2
-
-awktab.c has the following bogus logic:
-
-#ifndef alloca
-#ifdef __GNUC__
-#define alloca __builtin_alloca
-#else /* not GNU C. */
-#if (!defined (__STDC__) && defined (sparc)) || defined (__sparc__) || defined (__sparc) || defined (__sgi)
-#include <alloca.h>
-#else /* not sparc */
-
-Solaris x86 obviously dosn't define sparc or __sparc.
-
-What you _meant_ to say was:
-
-if (defined(__sun) && defined(__SVR4))
-
-(which identifies Solaris 2.x under both Sun's cc and gcc)

-Solution to Problem #1:
-=======================
-Tue Oct 20 21:25:11 IST 1998
-
-This has been fixed in 3.1.0 with the bisonfix.sed script.

-Solaris Problem #2:
-===================
-Tue Apr 13 16:57:45 IDT 1999
-
-There is a known problem in that the `manyfiles' test will fail under
-Solaris if you set your soft limit on the number of file descriptors to
-above 256. This is due to a "feature" of fdopen that an fd must be
-less than 256 (see fdopen(3)).
-
-IMHO this is Sun's problem, not mine.

-Solution (a) to Problem #2:
-===========================
-Now fixed in the code via Paul Eggert's 2001-09-0 patch. See the
-ChangeLog.
-
-Solution (b) to Problem #2:
-===========================
-From: Paul Nevai <nevai@math.ohio-state.edu>
-Subject: Re: gawk-3.0.4
-To: arnold@skeeve.com (Aharon Robbins)
-Date: Tue, 6 Jul 1999 09:09:05 -0400 (EDT)

-Dear Aharon:
-
-Toda raba. Why don't you add something like that to README_d/README.solaris
-file:
-
-for the SunOS do in
-
-/bin/sh: ulimit -n 256; ulimit -a; make test
-/bin/tcsh: limit descriptors 256; ulimit -a; make test
-
-otherwise "make test" will fail
-
-Shalom, Paul

-Solaris Problem #3:
-===================
-Sun Feb 9 10:35:51 IST 2003
-
-Certain versions of Sun C give compilation errors under Solaris 5.5, 5.6 and
-possibly later. Here's what I was told:
-
-> We have this version of cc here:
-> cc -V
-> cc: Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C 5.2 2000/09/11
->
-> Probably, the others use different combinations of OS and CC.
-> A quick fix was this (we use csh-syntax here):
->
-> setenv CC "/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -Xc"
-> ./configure
-> make check
